We enjoyed our stay at Alex's bungalow and with the exception of a couple of things to clarify with Alex once we got there the check in was easy and we settled right in. That said, communication with Alex was prompt and professional so I'm very happy about that.
The location was great for us too, a quiet street close to a walking trail, Frenchtown, etc and in-between St. Louis and O'Fallon where my family lives.
There could have been a few more things to make the stay more like home (more cooking things in the kitchen, more room to hang towels in the bathroom, etc.) but I understand that most renters are probably not a family of 7 with small kids so I don't take up too much of an issue about it. We did find some trash in the front yard but again, most people wouldn't have found it had they not curious kids playing in the yard, and the property is close to the street so it could have been from a passer-by.
But for these minor things it was a great stay and would have given a 5 start instead of 4.
